I've been using text-overflow recently and I discovered the hard way
that it doesn't work for text that overflows vertically (out the bottom
of an element). This limitation isn't documented on MDN, so it was a
frustrating experience of trial and error. I think that text-overflow
should be improved to support vertical overflows as well, since this is
the the most common use case (eg: multi-line summary descriptions). At
the very least the MDN documentation should be updated with this
limitation.

MDN is a wiki, you could login and edit it yourself:
